Golf VI R :: Convenience Settings Disabled While Using Spare Keys
I recently noticed that using my spare keys w/ my R disabled my vagcom tricks / convenience settings I had done. When going back to my original keys I use 99% of the time, these vagcom tricks become active again w/ no problem. I've gotten the following vagcom tweaks done to my '13 Golf R;
- convenience feature to open and close windows using key
- 4 convenience blinks (instead of 3) when switching lanes
- horn disabled when locking the car
Tiguan :: Can't Unlock The Convenience Menu
So my Tiguan's at the dealership getting the leaking sunroof repaired. I told them to unlock the convenience menu for me because the manager told me they could next time I came in....
View 24 RepliesTiguan :: How To Change The Default Camera Settings
The backup camera defaults to normal backup mode and you have to manually select the parking assist functionality. Is there a way to change the default operation to the parallel parking mode? I have looked in the owner's manual and can't find the information. I will admit that I could have missed the information, but I don't think I have.

My key died today so I had to pull out my spare. Isn't there a way to make the key control the windows and sunroof with the key? I'm only finding info on how you can make it unlock the drivers door or all. I have a 2010 SEL 4Motion.

View 6 RepliesCorolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Finding Default Door Lock Settings?
try to view the Scion Xd website. there it gives a few video instructions on altering the settings of the door locks. i tried it myself and it worked on the corolla too.
the default with the corolla is when you start the engine and move the shifter from P to D/3, all the doors lock. in the Scion Xd site it gives a video instruction where you can have the door to lock up when the car reaches a certain speed.
what i dont like about the corolla door lock up default setting is when you stop and put the the shifter to P again, all the doors unlock. im kinda paranoid about having the doors unlocked while i am inside the car. so for me the 2nd video instruction is most suitable.
Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: 2013 - Honk Settings With Lock And Unlock?
I am another "got explorer totaled and bought an F150" story. Picked up a 2013 FX4 eco. What a difference 10 years in technology makes, from a 03 exploder to this, wow!
Is there any way to program a 2013 FX4 to honk once with the door lock and twice with unlock? It ahs option pgk 402A with perimeter alarm.
Also does Ford sell a siren add-on so I can tell if it is my truck in trouble? I found DL3Z19A361A Can't find the contents on line and the parts guy does not know what it contains.
Passat (B6) :: All Convenience Features Disappeared
Initially my compass and all convenience features disappeared a few weeks back. They dealer can't seem to figure out how to bring it back. The did get my compass back though. It may sound insignificant but three features are now gone that I like. I shut off the horn beep when locking the car, one push on the keyless entry unlocked all four doors and when I shut the car off all four doors unlocked. These are now gone.
View 10 RepliesGolf/GTI VII :: Convenience Windows Down Function Not Working
New GTI. I can manually put all 4 windows down and open the sunroof then get them all to CLOSE by holding the lock slot on the door but I simply cannot get them all to open at once holding down the driver window switch. I'm doing exactly what the manual states to do. With ignition off. But with power either on or off this doesn't work for me.
View 8 RepliesPhaeton :: Convenience Closing Feature Not Working?
The 'convenience closing' feature on my Phaeton - as described in the two excerpts from the owner manual posted below - is not working. I can't close or open the windows using the key blade in the driver door lock, and I can't close or open them by pressing on the keyless access locking button on the driver door handle.
This has both myself and the Phaeton tech at my VW dealer perplexed. The Phaeton demonstrator at the dealership does not perform any of these functions either.
This feature works on your Phaeton? I am especially interested to hear from folks who have used a diagnostic scan tool (VAS 5052 or VAG-COM) to turn off unwanted chimes and buzzers. Right now I don't know if I have a problem with the car, a problem with the coding or adaptation of the car, or if the NAR Phaetons just don't perform as the owner manual describes them.
Touareg :: Low Tire Pressure Warning - MFI Stuck In Convenience Menu?
OK, so I started the T and got the low tire pressure warning. I began to cycle through the MFI to see which tire was low and poof! I was in the convenience setup sub-menu. Now that's all I get. No other menus. I've tried everything I can and it seems to stay that way. been about a week now.

Is this a function available on the Passat? I tried it with no success.
Tiguan :: 2009 - Oil Change Intervals?
My mother-in-law just bought a 2009 Tiguan, and she's just over 5k miles. I looked in the owner's manual, and in booklet 1.1, page 37, it looks like service is every 5k miles, just like on my A4 and my wife's Passat. However, the dealer is telling me that VW recommends 10k service on the Tiguan. What am I missing? Is the dealer wrong? Am I misunderstanding the Owner's Manual?
View 10 RepliesTiguan :: 2009 - ECU Failed Due To APR Remap?
I have been running the APR stage 1 for about 10 months. Yesterday, my vehicle refused to start. I got in the car and turned the key, The console lit up as usual, the second I tried to crank all the lights and display went off and the vehicle refused to crank. I suspected the battery, and tried jump-starting using a booster. While the engine cranked, it refused to start. I finally had it towed to the dealer.
First the dealer suspected battery issues. But today he calls and tell me they are going to have to replace the ECM. They claim they are not able to communicate with the ECU at all, and when they connected an ECU from another Tiguan and apparently that worked. Dealer claims its because of the tune.
The symptoms as I saw it - When I turned the key to the ACC position (with the Batt-booster connected) the console lights up as usual. If you keep it there, the lights also go out one after the other in the regular order. I was under the assumption this should mean the ECU is working and the circuits/sensors are passing the self-test. The MID, radio, seatbelt chimes etc - everything works with the booster/jumper connected - except it wont start
Therefore - can it be the ECU?
Tiguan :: 2009 VW 2.0T - Vibrate Violently When Hit 60 Mph
I have a 2009 VW tiguan 2.0T that vibrates violently when i hit 60mph, I mean pretty hard to the point where it doesn't feel safe to keep accelerating and everything inside not attached starts to rattle. Regardless Ive driven it to 100+ to see if it vibrates on higher gears and it does. I also have cruised on neutral downhills and stills vibrates the same.
So far this is what I have had it:
-Aligned and balanced tires twice.
-Had inspected and replaced both of the axles with new OEM parts.
-Had overall suspension inspected and everything seems fine.
-Checked the bearings by two different professionals, one used a dynamometer. came out fine
So far nothing has worked, and I am afraid or actually in denial that it might be something major with the transmission. I've researched and read various post around the web but i have not found anything beyond checking and/or replacing the the aforementioned parts.
I inadvertently hit 85 mph driving on an downhill interstate road and the vibration stopped, but came back again as soon as I slowed down to 60-80. Lets me to believe that there is something wrong with one of the transmission gears, probably 3th or 4th.
Tiguan :: 2009 - Oil Blowing Out From Turbo
My 2009 Tiguan SEL with 120,000 miles is going through oil like crazy--quart a month with normal driving. More if under load--drive in mountains. We have massive amount of oil on driveway. So much I've had to put down oil dry.
The oil appears to be coming from the turbo. I noticed it on the back firewall and back of the engine near the upper timing cover. I took it in to mechanic and he confirmed the oil is blowing out of the turbo. He said a remanufactured turbo from VW runs about $1250 and it'll be roughly $1200 labor to install and clean the intake side.
The Tiguan has been a pain. Just replaced the air conditioner compressor over the summer. That was $1200. Have had two intake manifolds installed due to misfires. One was at my cost, the other VW's. Ballast on driver side Xenon headlamp went. Had to take the entire front off to get under headlamp assembly to replace that. And then there are those water leaks from the poorly designed sunroof drain tubes. I've replaced all four of them myself. They're about due to be replaced again.
Tiguan :: 2009 SE VW Shakes While Driving
I have a 2009 Tiguan SE 4Motion with a little over 82K miles on it. Hard to pin point exactly but somewhere around 65 - 68K the vehicle started shaking, noticeably but not ridiculously while driving at a decent speed, 50 mph seems to be the speed where it's most notable. I took it to the dealer and they diagnosed it as the tires needed to be replaced. I had the tires replaced a few K later but the shake was the same. I took it back to the dealer who did the basic balance troubleshooting but they were unable to find anything. I pressed them and they did some additional troubleshooting but then I felt like I was wasting my time with that dealer because they started looking at the floor and talking nonsense about road conditions.
I feel the shaking regardless of road surface or speed, noticeable but not violent, 50mph and steady seems to be most noticeable. I feel that it is transmission/drive train related because everything else it could be has been checked or changed but I could be wrong. I feels like it's directly under the vehicle, I have sat in different seats while someone else drove and it doesn't seem to be more noticeable on one side or another. When on the highway going a steady speed on it will increase and decrease seemingly randomly. It hasn't really gotten any worse over the past 15K miles or I would have brought it to a different dealer, but it really bothers me, especially since my Tiguan was so smooth when I bought it.
Tiguan :: 2009 - TPMS Light On With New Rims
My Tig came with 17's ... I purchased 19" Savannahs but now my TPMS is on.
I pumped up the PSI to 38 even and its on still ( blinks for a min then solid on ).
Is this likely needing resetting? One dealer told me the sensors may need changing?
Tiguan :: 2009 - Stutter And Hesitation At Certain Speed / RPM
I am trying to trace down an issue with my 2009 Tiguan, auto. Its in regards to a stutter I notice in the vehicle at a certain speed/rpm. Almost appears if it doesn't want to shift and unless you really give it. The car certainly still has the power and all, this is also more noticeable on colder days. Today I stopped by the dealer where the vehicle was originally purchased as I am the 2nd owner and they provided me a complete print out of all the service history of the vehicle (quite informative).
Reading through it I found that the not even 6000 km the intake manifold was replaced under warranty they scanned for error P0215. This was on August 2014. They also replaced the injectors during this service.
And then also back in Dec. 2010, 70000km ago they replaced the manifold runner assembly and manifold for the first time.. Appears that they replaced the manifold on this car twice now.. Could this be my cause for the stutter?
Hard to believe that the same part would be getting replaced on a car within 60000km twice..
